AOC could write that African-Arabic supermodel and activist Imaan Hammam [IG], who was born in the Netherlands to an Egyptian father and a Moroccan mother, brings her sultry beauty to the July 2022 issue of Vogue Mexico & Latin America [IG] in a major cover story lensed by Alique [IG].

Fashion editor Valentina Collado styles Hammam with hair by Hos Hounkpatin and makeup by Benjamin Puckey.

This fabulous sensual fashion story with three different Imaan Hammam covers is sultry in the best sense of the world. Hammam does choose to project a sensual love of her mind and body. But as Vogue reminds us — and as AOC emphasizes in post after post — it’s Hammam’s work as an activist and role model that determines her ‘supermodel value’ in our eyes.

Because women’s bodies are under a constant global threat from religious-leaders for patriarchal supervision and scrutiny, it’s Hamman’s work as a global ambassador for ‘She’s the First’ that makes her a supermodel in our eyes.

In November 2021, Vogue Arabia narrated news of Hammam’s work with ‘She’s the First’ and being the recipient of the organization’s inaugural Powerhouse of the Year Award.

So yes — Imaan Hammam, you have a rockin, heathy-body, sensually-confident attitude in these Alique images. But it’s the totality of your actions that inspires our devoted support of your career as a supermodel and role model for young women. These Vogue Mexico and Latin America images definitely do you justice. ~ Anne
